Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of glaucomatous patients who had their CCT measured before and during monotherapy treatment with either latanoprost 0.05%, travoprost 0.004% or bimatoprost 0.03%. 62 patients were qualified for analysis. One eye of each subject was ran-展开更多

Methods: A retrospective analysis was done and the of CCT of 24 black and 21 white Brazilian patients were compared. The CCT展开更多
Purpose: Intraocular Pressure (IOP) control is the main goal in glaucoma treatment However, despite satisfactory control, the occurrence of side effects reduces compliance. This study was designed to test if an ophtha...Purpose: Intraocular Pressure (IOP) control is the main goal in glaucoma treatment However, despite satisfactory control, the occurrence of side effects reduces compliance. This study was designed to test if an ophthalmic preparation of 50% diluted bi-matoprost (bimatoprost 0.015%) achieves good IOP展开更多
Purpose: To determine if there is an influence of the Water Drinking Test (WDT) on central corneal thickness (CCT) due to the sudden change of osmolarity since an increase on CCT could lead to a false higher IOP readi...Purpose: To determine if there is an influence of the Water Drinking Test (WDT) on central corneal thickness (CCT) due to the sudden change of osmolarity since an increase on CCT could lead to a false higher IOP reading on applanation tonometry. Methods: 38 glaucomatous or glaucomatous suspect patients without ocular hypotensive medication were submitted to WDT. CCT was measured by ultrasound pachymetry before and展开更多
Purpose: To relate a case of a branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) followed by SLP (Scanning Laser Polarimetry) and OCT (Optical Computadorized Tomography), Methods: A 21 year-old male with a BRAO was submitted to ...Purpose: To relate a case of a branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) followed by SLP (Scanning Laser Polarimetry) and OCT (Optical Computadorized Tomography), Methods: A 21 year-old male with a BRAO was submitted to SLP and OCT on days 7, 30 and 60 after the occlusion. The emboli could be visualized by indirect fundoscopy and by ocular ultrassonography.展开更多
Purpose: To determine if there is a difference in central corneal thickness (CCT) of white and yellow Brazilian patients. Methods: We retrospectively compared the CCT data of yellow patients living in Brazil and white...Purpose: To determine if there is a difference in central corneal thickness (CCT) of white and yellow Brazilian patients. Methods: We retrospectively compared the CCT data of yellow patients living in Brazil and white Brazilian patients. CCT was measured with an ultrasound pachymeter (Compuscan P Ultrasonic Pachymeter System model UPC 1000 ). One eye of each patient was randomly selected for statistical analysis. A two sample t展开更多
